What its about

This tutorial shows you how to convert a built Boe-Bot with BS2,  or Shield-Bot robot with Arduino Uno, into a Python-programmable cyber:bot robot with a micro:bit module.  It takes the place of "Build your cyber:bot" in the cyber:bot Tutorial Series.

Before you start

You will need these items:

• A Windows, Mac, or Chromebook computer with internet connection
• cyber:bot conversion kit (#32707)
• One of these complete robot kits, assumed to be assembled:
  • Boe-Bot robot (#28832, #28132, #81031)
  • Shield-Bot Robot (#32335, #81033 #130-35000)

You will need to complete the following Prerequisite tutorials before assembly:

• Software Setup for micro:bit
• Writing micro:bit programs
• Add modules to your micro:bit

After you finish

Once your cyber:bot contstruction is complete, you will be ready to continue with the other tutorials in the cyber:bot Main Lessons.  These use the electronic components in your original robot's kit. If you need replacements, the Small Robot Electronics Pack (#572-28132) is available separately.
